Rubbing your hands together can cure constipation, according to an acupuncturist - and TikTok users say it works
Rubbing the sides of your hands together can help you poop if done correctly, licensed acupuncturist Anita Tadavarthy recently shared on TikTok.
She demonstrated the trick in a recent video that's gotten hundreds of thousands of likes. All you need to do is press your fists together so the sides of your pointer fingers and thumbs touch, and then firmly rub them back and forth for a couple minutes.

The motion stimulates the large intestine and colon using acupressure, Tadavarthy explained in the video.
Acupressure uses physical pressure, rather than acupuncture needles, to target certain areas of the body thought to relieve pain or illness. The practice has shown promise for easing nausea, vomiting, and some chronic pain, but more rigorous studies are needed to be sure.
This particular trick is meant to activate the large intestine 4 (LI4) acupressure point, located in the valley between the pointer finger and thumb, Tadavarthy said in an interview with Buzzfeed.
"The back and forward massage on the acupressure point causes the same back and forward contraction of the colon to pass the stool," Tadavarthy told reporter Farrah Penn. "That's why this works so well."
Dicen que hasta puede provocar partos asíque no se recomienda a las embarazadas.
La acupuntora parece de la India así que debe de ser experta en eso del soltar.
